"Bang!" A small and smooth jasper Ruyi was thrown to pieces. The roar of King Tang in the study caused silence in the entire Beijing palace.
All the servants, guards, and maids suppressed not only the sounds of their voices, footsteps, and breathing from their mouths and noses.
"Tell Chen Shiju that I will hunt down Peking City within a month." The roar continued, and the voice of the Tang King was still roaring, "Beiping City, I want it to be destroyed!"
The fall of the Sixty Thousand Zhou Army in the Battle of Weizhong was like a big mouth slapped on Ji Fa's face. Now he felt that his face was burning with shame, and when he looked at others, he felt as if others were laughing at him.
Own.
"I must capture Zhu Biao alive and escort him to Beijing!"
"promise……"
Dark night, a dark night. "Pike, stab, stab..." The sound of a falcon flapping its wings came from the left-behind palace, and then several black shadow arrows rushed from the courtyard of the palace into the night, quickly heading towards the Xiyang direction of Zhongshan Kingdom
Go.
At the speed of a falcon, the two to three thousand miles from Youzhou to Xiyang only takes a day or two. It can be expected that the war between Zhongshan Kingdom and the Northern Han Dynasty that should have gradually subsided after the Three Stones War will resume soon.
There's a bigger storm.
Dashunguan.
The heads of Zhu Xie and Fan Chunju were hung on the top of the city. Accompanying the two leaders of Liuyang were nearly a hundred of their personal guards. Even those who surrendered had their heads chopped off after being found out.
The accounts of the hundreds of disabled Han soldiers in Longnan cannot be ignored!
"Drive, drive, drive..."
The elite Qianqi Bodaoling drove out of the south gate of Dashun Pass in an orderly manner. The follow-up militiamen and Ding Zhuang of the Muzhou Army have arrived, and the more than 30,000 prisoners no longer have to worry about Zhu Biao. Even the infantry of the Muzhou Army
He was left to the leadership of Yang Yanzhang, and he led thousands of unharmed elites to avoid the city and attack directly at the gate of Taigu City in Yuzhou Prefecture.
If it was a short-range attack, Zhu Biao would also bring along those soldiers who were slightly injured. But this was a long-distance galloping thousands of miles away, and Zhu Biao did not want hundreds of loyal and brave soldiers who had shed blood to suffer from minor injuries and become seriously ill.
Anyway, as long as there was an injury, he didn't bring anyone with him on this trip.
Dust and smoke were billowing like dragons. On Dashunguan City, Yang Yanzhang, Gao Xie, and Li Panlong looked at the cavalry leaving the dust. Their six eyes and three pairs of eyes flashed with expressions of admiration and admiration.
In the Three-Stone Battle, Zhu Biao seemed to have less playing time than Yang Yanzhang, and his performance was not as important as Yang Yanzhang's, but every aspect of that battle was soaked in Zhu Biao's wisdom and hard work.
Yang Yanzhang, who seemed to make an eye-catching appearance, was just dancing with Zhu Biao's baton.
More than two thousand casualties resulted in a complete victory. The three generals of Muzhou could not help but admire them wholeheartedly! Soldiers will not bow their heads, but they will admire and worship those who are stronger.
Three days later, in Taigu County City.
Prefect Ma Ling and Chief Secretary Li Ji excitedly walked into the governor's office and reported to Yuzhou Governor Zhang Yingxiang: "Sir, good news, good news."
"Oh?" Zhang Xingying, who was disturbed by the bad news coming from the eastern counties, stood up hurriedly when he heard the words, "What's the good news?"
"The reinforcements from Xiyang have arrived, and they are accompanied by two thousand troops from General Guan of Jianyang County. A total of five thousand people have arrived more than ten miles west of the city." Li Ji said happily.
Ma Ling on the side continued: "Sir, I have more than 4,000 soldiers and warriors from Taigu County. With the 5,000 troops and horses coming to help, I have 10,000 soldiers in the city. Why should we be afraid of the more than 1,000 horsemen of the Han thieves!
"
"Really?" Zhang Xingying was overjoyed when he heard this. It's great, it's great. The king remembers him after all and can take care of him at critical moments. "Where is the thief now? Has he arrived in Tangcheng?"
Li Ji replied: "I have just received a report from a horse. I wish the thieves have divided their forces in the south of Jade City. They seem to be interested in taking Huayun and Baihe counties together."
"Zhu Biao is wreaking havoc... Huh, you are so greedy." Zhang Xingxing snorted coldly and scolded Zhu Biao loudly, but he was happy in his heart. Baihe and Huayun, the two counties have certainly suffered, but in this way
Zhu Biao will definitely not be able to kill Taigu City today. "Immediately arrange for reinforcements to enter the city. As long as General Liu arrives in the city, Zhu Biao will be ten times braver and how can he defeat me?"
There are two ways to say that 10,000 cavalry can attack a city guarded by 1,000 infantry. It is a fantasy that 1,000 cavalry can attack a city guarded by 10,000 infantry.
Zhang Xiangxiang was overjoyed and felt that all the burdens of the past few days had been lifted. If Taigu City was as strong as gold, it would be good. If Baihe, Huayun, and Jade suffered, it would suffer. Anyway, Zhu Biao's tribe only had more than a thousand people, so they could
How many people’s livelihoods have been harmed!
"That's right." Ma Ling had the same idea as Zhang Yingxiang, and laughed, "Taigu City is indestructible, and there are ten thousand soldiers guarding it. Don't say that Zhu Zhong leads a thousand cavalry, he is the leader.
Ten thousand infantrymen who are good at attacking fortified areas will still knock out all their teeth."
"Haha, what Ma Taishou said is true, true...I, Taigu, have no worries." Only now did Zhang Xing really feel at peace. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Ma Ling and Li Ji,
"You two can follow me to the west gate and meet the reinforcements together."
"Your Majesty, please come first." Ma Ling and Li Ji naturally agreed, holding hands and giving way. Zhang Yingxiang waved his sleeves and took the lead.
…
The west gate of the city.
Zhang Xiangying quickly climbed onto the gate tower surrounded by Ma Ling, Li Ji and a group of lieutenant generals. He put his hands on his hands and looked up, only to see a faint yellow line slowly moving in the distant sky to the west.
As time goes by, this yellow line slowly extends to the two wings, and then becomes thicker and thicker. In less than a meal, everyone in the city can clearly distinguish that the yellow line is a large puff of smoke and dust.
, reinforcements wearing brown shirts were faintly visible in the yellow dust.
Li Ji said excitedly: "Look, sir, our reinforcements have arrived!"
He didn't care why the Zhongshan Army, which was in a tight situation everywhere, suddenly deployed 5,000 troops east to Taigu. As the governor of Wei, he only wanted the state's governance to be unbroken.
The smile on Zhang Xiangxiang's face turned into a flower. He could see clearly that the person walking in front of the army was not his brother-in-law Liu Pei. The general on the other side was Guan Sheng, the commander of Jianyang Military Academy. He nodded.
Zhang Yingxiang was about to lead a group of military generals down to the gate to greet his brother-in-law. Suddenly, a captain on the side suddenly screamed: "What is that? Masters, look to the north!"
"Huh?" Zhang Yingxiang and others all turned their heads and looked to the north. They saw that the distant horizon in the north seemed to be filled with yellow smoke and dust. Just because they were far apart, it was difficult to spot it without careful identification.
Ma Ling's heart skipped a beat, "It seems like smoke and dust!"
Li Ji also frowned, "Yes, it's like smoke and dust, but it's not very windy today?" After saying that, he spread his hand out in front of his eyes and shook it, but he didn't feel much wind?
"It's cavalry, it's cavalry!" A military academy finally shouted in horror, "My lords, the cavalry coming from the north is cavalry! A large group of cavalry!"
"Ah? Cavalry? Where did the cavalry come from? Could it be...?" Zhang Yingying was suddenly startled. When he turned around again, the five thousand reinforcements were still one or two miles away from the west gate of the city. He was stunned for a moment. His face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Open the city gate quickly, open the city gate quickly. Let the reinforcements enter the city immediately, let the reinforcements enter the city immediately!"
A name came to Zhang Yingying's mind, Zhu Biao. He was the only one with a large group of cavalry in Taigu County.
"You must not do it, Lord Governor!" Li Jigong hurriedly advised, "If it is really the Han cavalry who came, it would be too late to open the city gate to welcome the reinforcements. Maybe Zhu Biao would take advantage of the chaos and seize the city. My lord, now you should send a message to General Liu Pei and General Guan Sheng, and ask them to form an array on the west side of the city, so that they can be at each other's horns with Taigu City. This is the best policy!"
"Nonsense!" Zhang Xingxiang was furious. Five thousand soldiers were life-saving things. How could they be released for Zhu Biao to eat in one bite? "Liu Pei is a general of the Forbidden Army, and Guan Sheng is also a sharp soldier in our Yuzhou County. I am an officer." How can you, as a governor, refuse to save anyone? Come here, quickly lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and welcome the reinforcements into the city, quickly—"
Ma Ling looked miserable. She turned around and exchanged glances with Li Ji. The next moment, they both shook their heads sadly.
But Taigu City did not listen to Ma Ling, the prefect, but to Zhang Yingying, the governor. Historically, subordinates who attached to Guo Shangguan had a hard time. With Zhang Yingying's order, the suspension bridge hanging high in the west of Taigu City Slowly lowering, the closed city gate also slowly opened.
A flying horse galloped away from the city.
…
Five miles north of the city, on the flat official road.
A thousand Han men were galloping on horseback. The horses' hooves trampled and kicked up yellow dust all over the sky, making a loud roar that shook the sky.
Zhu Biao was galloping at the front of the cavalry on his green horse. Zhu Zhong suddenly rode up to Zhu Biao, pointed his finger forward and said to Zhu Biao: "Sixth brother, look across the way! God has eyes, and he really wants us to Caught him right."
Zhu Biao controlled the reins with his right hand, and took out a telescope from his arms with his left hand. He looked diagonally forward, and then a look of ecstasy could not be suppressed on his face: "Five thousand reinforcements are here, it's really God's blessing. We are just in time. Stew him in a spoonful."
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Zhu Zhong nodded repeatedly. The brothers were having fun in Huayun and Baihe. If they hadn't asked the news from the local official, how could they have flown to Taigu at this time? At the foot of the city, Fen Ran said, "Sixth brother, our army is launching a surprise attack. The Zhongshan bandits are vulnerable to a single blow. They will be defeated in one blow. It is even possible that they can take advantage of the chaos to seize the city gate. In this way, Taigu City will be easily accessible!" Although he did not expect it to go so smoothly, and it greatly affected the previous predictions, Zhu Zhong just couldn't resist the temptation in front of him.
Zhu Biao was also unable to resist. "Okay!" How could he not eat the fat meat that was delivered to his door!
"Zhu Zhong listens to the order!"
"My little brother is here!"
"At the rate of 300 men and horses, cut off the retreat route to the west of the Zhongshan bandits. When I lead my troops to kill them, launch a surprise attack from the enemy's flank!" Not from behind.
"As you command!"
"The remaining troops will obey the order and follow the general to break through the enemy's formation——"
